Eagle Squadron

I was a member of the 435th Eagle Squadron and flew with Major Davis. He was well respected by his fellow airmen. His calm demeanor meant a lot to those of us who served with him.
May God give he and his family the peace they deserve.

On July 7, 1972, a U.S. Air Force McDonnell Douglas F-4D Phantom II (#65-0800) from the 435th Tactical Fighter Squadron was returning to Ubon Royal Thai Air Force Base in Thailand when it crashed in an open field three miles from the runway. The jet was flying at night in a rainstorm with possible battle damage when it went down. Both crewmen were killed. They included pilot MAJ Harland M. Davis Jr. and Weapon Systems Officer 1LT Frederick M. Koss. There were no civilian injuries or property damage.
